delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the Non-Enzymatic by-product of Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid – A (THCA-A)

Dry-weight is a measure for grain. Grains are dried and then weighed so the buyer only pays for a specific weight of proteins.

What is the basis of this Standard?

3 parts per 1,000 is the dosage of THC determined to make a dog walk with a “drowsy gait”.

Cannabis, nor Hemp can genetically produce THC.

Cannabis seed and Hemp seed produce Achene or fruit, not grain.

This really doesn’t give us much of a standard, nor with the volatility of the compounds can we consider that ANY testing procedure or protocol makes any sense at all, short of testing the dried flowering-tops or buds of those who do choose to cure the full duration to “Dry-Weight.

Please click on the following two genome links:

These are the genome browsers to the 2011 Genetic-Mapping of Cannabis, and Hemp.

From here man takes over. Storage conditions and curing determine whether the produce turns out to be high, or low in THCA-A, and as a result a higher level of psychotomimetic-activity produced by the THC when it is used for Recreational, or Medicinal purposes.

Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) is a technique for the analysis and quantitation of organic volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Gas chromatography (GC) is used to separates mixtures into individual components using a temperature-controlled capillary column.

Temperature is the variable to expedite Non-Enzymatic Decarboxylation. The moment Temperature is introduced, THC is man-made. PERIOD.

What we have is maligned procedure and protocol that some may feel is well-intended, however, they do not have the Science, nor Genetic facts. Those who say: “So what, it is Illegal”. We say, Nonsense, it is an “Inalienable Right”.
